We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Hu~hu~
Ten thousand meters above the sky, violent winds often blow, swirling up clouds and creating a spectacular sight.

If it were when he was in the Transcendent Realm, Shen Bailian would not have easily reached this height, because the amount of primal force required here is much greater than that required at a height of several hundred meters.

But nowadays?
He has broken through the shackles and become a martial artist in the Opening Sea Realm.

Only when he truly entered the Sea Opening Realm did Shen Bailian truly feel the vast chasm between ordinary peak Transcendent Realm martial artists and Sea Opening Realm martial artists.

The middle-aged man from before was right.

In terms of the amount of primal force alone, the primal force possessed by a martial artist in the early stage of the Opening Sea Realm is several times that of a martial artist in the peak of the Transcendent Realm. The primal force in their body is enough to support a battle of sufficient intensity.

And thus, there is no need to rely on the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, since ninety percent of a martial artist's original power is concentrated in their dantian, it is much easier and faster to mobilize it during battle.

To use a vivid example: the acceleration of a sports car from 0 to 100 km/h is a huge improvement, even if it only increases by a fraction of a second.

The weak don't need it, but for martial artists at or above the Sea Opening Realm, being able to activate it even a millisecond quickly can give them a significant advantage and a greater edge in battle.

This is what is meant by "one step fast, every step fast".

Furthermore, after advancing to the Sea Opening Realm, the quality of the Force also becomes tangible. At this stage, the polarization between the strong and the weak is extremely severe compared to the Mortal Transformation Realm.

At or below the Transcendent Realm, even martial arts prodigies find it difficult to overcome an entire level of physical attributes to defeat others.

But what about those at or above the Opening Sea Realm?

To put it simply, consider martial artists in the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm, with physical attributes ranging from 21.0 to 24.0. A martial arts prodigy in the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm with physical attributes at level 21.0 can easily defeat an ordinary martial artist in the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm with physical attributes at level 22.0.

Remember, this is under relaxed conditions, even when exerting all one's strength, one can barely remain undefeated against a martial artist in the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm with a physical fitness level of 23.0.

If that were all there was to it, warriors at the Opening Sea Realm would not be considered a backbone force.

The most powerful aspect of a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm is undoubtedly their Force Battle Armor.

For example, although the middle-aged man's physical fitness was only level 23.8, a martial artist at the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm, his Force Battle Armor could only be broken by a full-force attack from an ordinary martial artist at the mid-stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

This is the true protective barrier between martial artists at the Opening Sea Realm and the Transcendent Realm.

If you can't even break through the opponent's defenses, how can you expect to launch an attack? Isn't that just wishful thinking and daydreaming?

With the accumulation of various buffs, the strength and status of martial artists in the Opening Sea Realm are beyond doubt.

Furthermore, as a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm, he is already qualified to be among the top experts in some small countries on Earth Origin Star. Even in Great Xia, he has the qualifications to apply to become the lord of a city.

But qualifications are just qualifications; they don't mean that every martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm in the Great Xia Dynasty can become a city lord. In the Great Xia Dynasty, to become a city lord, one must work at the grassroots level for at least three years.

Although Shen Bailian's ambitions did not lie in this.

However, if he really wants to be a "hands-off manager," given his current talent and strength, he is more than worthy of the Great Xia government giving him the green light.

And almost no one would object.

"All the sweat I've shed has finally turned into gold today." As Shen Bailian thought of this, his mind stirred slightly.

All of a sudden.

The sparse elemental energy surrounding Bozhou City suddenly began to converge frantically towards the location of the black-robed youth in the sky, instantly forming a vortex of elemental energy.

then.

Shen Bailian remained calm. He clenched his fist, and the raging vortex of heaven and earth energy was like a lit match thrown into an oil drum.

In an instant.

Tens of thousands of meters above the sky, an invisible rift was torn open in the azure sky, and a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the center of Shen Bailian.

It was as if a ray of sunlight in the distant sky was magnified in an instant, illuminating the entire horizon. The light was so bright that everything around it was dyed a bright white.

Even the residents of Bozhou City on the ground witnessed this strange scene.

However, due to the extreme height, they couldn't see very clearly and assumed that some powerful ferocious beast was being besieged.

However, this extraordinary sight appeared quite different to Kong Chaowu, Yang Wu, and other martial artists at or above the Transcendent Realm.

"Is this level of attack really something a martial artist who has just entered the Sea Opening Realm can unleash?"

Yang Wu suddenly looked up. As a martial artist at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, his physical transformation was almost complete, and his eyesight was dozens of times better than that of an ordinary martial artist at the Establishment Realm.

In addition, his extraordinary perception allowed him not only to see clearly, but also to sense the terrifying elemental power of heaven and earth contained within.

Yang Wu looked at Kong Chaowu beside him with a questioning gaze.

"I don't know... but so far, even the Holy Son of the Martial Hall that I've met, when he first entered the Sea Opening Realm, probably couldn't unleash such a terrifying attack."

"However, compared to the previous strike, this attack is far inferior." Kong Chaowu's mind raced, and in a flash, he judged the power of this attack.

Very strong.

It's already comparable to a casual strike from a martial artist who has just entered the mid-stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

Don't underestimate this seemingly casual strike. Keep in mind that Shen Bailian is only at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, which is truly terrifying.

"Have the relevant videos and messages been sent to Tiangang Academy?" Kong Chaowu continued to ask.

“It’s been sent out, but…” Yang Wu hesitated for a moment after saying that, then pondered for a while before continuing, “But I’ve found some teachers from other martial arts universities. What do you think about that?”

In previous years, at this time, there would be no martial arts university teachers in Bozhou City, let alone any martial arts academic exchanges with Qingyun City.

But times have changed.

After Shen Bailian emerged from Bozhou City, martial arts academies that previously paid little attention to small, third-tier cities began to intensify their exploration of border towns.

Especially Bozhou City, the place where the dragon rose to power.

Teachers from various martial arts universities act like talent scouts, being dispatched as the universities approach their summer break to poach outstanding students in advance.

In terms of finding outstanding students, even the six major universities have the same attitude as top-tier martial arts universities and ordinary martial arts universities, and some even have an even higher attitude.

"No need," Kong Chaowu shook his head. "They're not children anymore; they naturally know the gravity of the situation. Even if they don't, their superiors will." *Boom!!!*

Suddenly, just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the sky, as if thousands of thunder gods were roaring, shaking the void as if it were trembling.

Of course, the latter is just an illusion.

The enormous sound waves, like ocean waves, spread rapidly outwards from Shen Bailian's location, forming concentric circles of visible ripples.

Then, a fireball several hundred meters in diameter suddenly exploded in the sky.

By this time, even though no alarms had sounded in Bozhou City, the civilians understood that something inexplicable must have happened in the sky, and they quickened their pace to head home.

"Am I... already this powerful?" Shen Bailian stood tall and straight, his eyes blazing, his expression calm as he stood at the very center of the firestorm.

Despite the thunderous explosions and the intense heat of thousands of degrees Celsius, he did not move an inch. His clothes fluttered in the explosions, and he was surrounded by a faint light, like an invisible armor.

Shen Bailian was conducting an experiment. He wanted to test how much damage a strike with 70% of his strength could cause to himself.

As for the faint light surrounding him?

This stems from the body's stress response, or rather, it is a unique self-defense characteristic of martial artists at the Opening Sea Realm and above.

However, the defensive power exhibited by this autonomous defense feature is only half that of the Force Armor.

However, this is an insurmountable barrier for Transcendent Realm warriors, even those at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

"The Newton of this world is probably so angry that he's been driven to the brink of annihilation." Shen Bailian, amidst the raging firestorm, spread his arms wide and calmed himself to sense his own condition.

Extremely comfortable.

For any explosive, its attack methods can be broadly divided into two categories: the high-temperature environment at the explosion center and the shock wave.

However, for Shen Bailian now, as long as the autonomous defensive characteristics surrounding him are not completely destroyed, neither abnormal temperatures nor shock waves can easily harm him.

It completely violates the laws of physics.

But that's what martial artists are all about!
Gods are outside the rules, and the path of warriors in the mythological era is a long way to godhood. So what if they violate a little bit of the physical rules?
Even the vast collective consciousness of the Earthly Star Universe would not object.

……

"I object!"

"We absolutely cannot let it continue to grow so smoothly. If this continues, not only me, but even you, Gaia, will become its prisoner!"

In the Earth Origin Star Universe, a voice, both persuasive and tinged with fear, suddenly rang out in the Origin Void Sea.

"Then what do you suggest?" A faint, ethereal voice suddenly rang out above the Origin Void Sea: "Deal with it? Or kill it? But the question is, do you dare?"

"Do you dare?" "Do you dare?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but more so, anger. The three large words, "Do you dare?" spread rapidly like ripples into the surrounding void.

What followed was a long silence for Gaia.

However, Gaia is the collective consciousness of the Earth Element Star universe, and his every move when he loses his composure will have a tremendous impact on the Earth Element Star universe.

Amidst Gaia's rage, on the western coast of the Pacific Ocean of Earth Element Star.

boom!
The once calm and peaceful sea suddenly turned into a stormy scene with thunder, blinding lightning, and swirling clouds, resembling an apocalyptic landscape.

Even the oceans became restless, pushing and squeezing each other, converging into a tremendous force, with thick columns of water shooting straight into the sky!

“Catherine, how many times has this been a natural disaster?” Alexander Gray stood with his hands behind his back, his golden armor gleaming under the dazzling lightning. He raised his chin, his sapphire-like eyes sweeping over the natural disaster before him.

"Reporting to Your Highness Grey, this is the second time since January 1st," a voice as clear as fine wine rang out.

Standing next to Gray was a blonde woman with naturally curly hair named Allison Katherine. Her eyes were large and bright, with a soft amber hue. She had delicate features and a stunningly curvaceous figure.

"Just like last time, no large-scale surge of primordial energy was detected at the site of the natural disaster. Based on the deductions of those madmen, this is highly likely..."

“I don’t care about that.” Gray waved his hand, then asked, “How’s your investigation going regarding the participants from Great Xia in the new Global Martial Arts Tournament?”

“It’s almost done.” Allison Catherine’s mind stirred slightly, and her amber-colored right eye suddenly projected a screen of light, displaying a series of clear photographs.

"The main force participating in this global martial arts competition is most likely Xiang Yan, the third holy son of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Wu Wudi of the Supreme Martial Hall, and Zhang San of the Taiji Martial Hall... Among them, the weakest one is only at the mid-stage of the Sea Opening Realm."

"As for the martial artists who could potentially become reserve members, there are many spots available, namely Yuwen Changkong, the ninth holy son of the Starry Sky Martial Hall... Xu Changqing of the Supreme Martial Hall... and Shen Bailian, the newly emerged top martial arts prodigy."

"Heh, quite a lot of talent indeed." Gray looked at the main force members and more than a dozen reserve warriors on the light screen, his fists clenched, a fleeting shadow passing through his eyes:

"Those insects only know how to indulge in pleasure. If the Great Xia had united 40% to 50% when facing natural disasters, it wouldn't have become the only dominant power!"

Allison Katherine stood to the side, silent.

Grey could say such things, but she would never dare to, and wouldn't even dare to agree.

Because of his powerful cultivation talent and unparalleled strength among his peers, Gray is also a strong contender for the captaincy among the main force members of this year's Global Martial Arts Tournament.

Even if he caused a huge disaster, the people in the council would still praise him for doing a good job.

For example, a month ago, Gray killed hundreds of people in a fit of rage during a speech, but he remains unharmed and has not received any substantial punishment.

There is no restriction on personal freedom.

……

"Or... how about we open the door?" After a long silence, the voice finally spoke again.

"Open the door? Do you think there's any race in this universe that can rival the people on Earth?" Gaia sneered and continued to probe his soul.

Life is a miracle of the universe, and the probability of its occurrence is extremely low, especially intelligent life.

However, on a scale of hundreds of billions of light-years in the universe, this probability can be magnified hundreds of times, thousands of times... or even tens of thousands of times.

"I don't mean opening up the gale layer above Earth Star, but rather releasing..." (End of Chapter)
